Not A Clue- I’ll give you another try

Wouldn’t their observations be psychology?
NO

ys It wasn’t until 1879 that a man called Wilhelm Wundt in a laboratory in Leipzig, Germany announced to the world that he was going to study mental processes and behavior using the scientific method.

You guessed right!
